Chapter 413 Face–to–face Interrogation
I had already brewed the tea when Jared entered the room.
I looked at the refined man, his eyes brimming with the depth and wisdom that only time and experience
could bring.
He didn’t seem surprised to see me, merely giving me a subtle quirk. “Hello. We’ve met before.”
I nodded and got up. “Yes, we have. I’m Chloe, Ivanna’s closest friend.”
“She mentioned you.”
I was a little uneasy about his composed manner. After all, this man was enigmatic. I felt the vast
disparity in our status as a woman watching out for my best–friend.
Both of us sat looking calm, but there was a faint air of distance. Neither of us rushed to speak.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to start the conversation, but I had never interacted with someone like him
before. I had no idea how to begin.
I gestured toward the tea I had poured for him. “Please, Mr. Jared.”
He got straight to the point. ‘Do you know what you wanted to discuss with me?”
“Ivanna,” I replied directly.
What else was there to talk about with him? Of course, it had to be Ivanna. Why pretend otherwise?
I had only regarded Jared as a man my best friend trusted enough to entrust with her life. Not the mysterious big shot it rumored him to be. I felt oddly at ease.
“I’m all ears.” He didn’t ask for more details or offer any answers. These three words were spoken with
great humility.
“Ivanna and I are very close friends, and I think you already know how deep Ivanna’s character is. For the
past two years, she has taken care of me, and she has become family to me.”
What I said was not an exaggeration. Ivanna was not just family to me–she was irreplaceable.
